Which role would you rather play? Antonio Cesaro: wrestling machine, Antonio Cesaro: deceptively agile workhorse, or Antonio Cesaro: master of yodelling? It's a no-brainer, but try telling WWE creative that in 2013 when they tried to take one of the guy's Swiss customs and turn it into a gimmick.

In a move that absolutely nobody should have given the thumbs up, Cesaro (who still had a first name back then) started singing like he was an extra from Snow White & The Seven Dwarves, and it was supposed to get him over. Seriously, this was never going to work.

It was one of those embarrassing WWE moments that leaves fans scrambling for the remote whenever a non-fan is within earshot.

Thankfully, it didn't last long. The yodel idea turned Cesaro into a joke, made fans care about him less than they had when he was a generic heel wrestler and threatened to derail his WWE career. Credit to the guy for sticking it out and doing his best with such a horrible idea.
